The common assumption that man has lived on earth
countless tens of thousands 6f years
is
an idle dream. Reason
disproves it. Each new archaeological discovery aids in
d:iaproving it. True SC.IENCE disproves i.t! Strange as
1
t
may seem, the theory of man's evolution is not only unproved,
but irrefutably disproved when we understand the facts.
The apostles did not fully understand this PLAN
OF GOD when Christ was yet on earth. They thought the king–
dom would be established in their
day --
after only about
4000 years of God's plan had been completed. But before
they died, the apostles knew God's plan. Peter said: "The
Lord is not slack

his promise (of Christ's
coming) . . . but is longsuf'fering . . •

(II
Pet.
3:9) .
God is patient. He has refrained from intervening
1n
world
affairs for nearly
60b0
years. Why?
Because He will not intervene until humanity is
forced to cry out to Him for fear of self-extermination.
Recall that the day of Christ's
~tervention
and rule is
compared to ' 'a thousand years

(Rev. 20:4). Peter also
wrote the . same thing -- that a day

Peter knew that Christ would intervene shortly
before the close of
6000
years of human struggle and
slavery -- that God would send Jesus Christ to set up H1B
government to rule during the seventh-thousand-year
period -- a millennium of peace, a sabbatical rest!
How marvelous that in our dayJ at the very time
that
6000
years have almost elapsed. the world is
threatened with extinction of li.fe. And Jeaua Himself said
that when we see this taking place HE WOULD COME AGAIN!
